LinkedIn Recruiter Lite – Response Rate

I was handling the RecruiterLite dashboard from one of my clients and I used to have regular interactions with the LinkedIn business partners. They say, around 40s is a good average to have in terms response rate on LinkedIn.

And I believe the below factors play a key role in terms of whats the good response rate

• Pool availability for a role vs Number of Job openings in that location
• Are you pitching mostly to candidates who have spent min 15-18 months in their current company?
• If you are pitching to candidates who are in their new company for just 6 odd months, then does the company have any ramp down? If no, then response rates can be lower.

Last but not the least, keep doing a lot of A/B testing with your message, personalisation, a bit of humour etc. Keep trying until you get that one message which performs well for you.
